I’m delighted to announce that I’ve sold my version of the timeless story of Christine Daae and Erik the Opera Ghost, to New American Library’s Eclipse Erotica trade paperback line.
My take on The Phantom of the Opera was inspired by Andrew Lloyd Weber’s musical and film, although I drew heavily on the original book by Gaston LeRoux and brought in Philippe, Count de Chagny and Raoul’s brother–a main character that was left out of Weber’s musical.
So for everyone who wanted to know what really happened during the Music of the Night scene, and why Raoul was such a milquetoast, and why Christine left with Raoul when we all knew she should have stayed with the Phantom…you’ll find out when you read my book!
Tentative release date: June 2007
The second installment of the Gardella Vampire Chronicles takes Victoria to Venice and Rome.

Whoo Hooo! Finally Christine and the Phantom will get together. So this makes three books you’ve sold this year, right?
You are hot, girl.
